Description

Join The Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), in association with Andertons, for Learn to Play Day on 18th June at ACM Guildford. Come along and try out a musical instrument with the help of a professional tutor. We will be holding free sessions to learn bass, guitar, drums, vocals and, new for 2017, studio recording.

We are also delighted to welcome a special guest Radio 1 favourite, Lower Than Atlantis drummer, Eddy Thrower, who will be sharing his experience alongside the ACM tutors.

There will be sessions at 11am, 12.15pm and 1.30pm and performances from ACM bands to watch and inspire you.

The Academy’s Saturday School Manager Roger Davis said, “Learn To Play Day is a real highlight in our calendar at ACM, it’s great to see so many local faces and open people's eyes to the prospect of learning an instrument. As a leading method for training the brain, learning music is a great supplement to both children and adults. I’d encourage anyone that’s interested in playing an instrument or music production to sign up for a free taster this Learn To Play Day, and if you like what you see, definitely have a chat with us about Saturday School.”

Aside from our degree and diploma offering, ACM offers both beginner and intermediate part-time classes in band skills, studio recording, songwriting and home recording on Saturdays from the Guildford campus. ACM will be doing a prize draw for 5 free Saturday courses to those enrolling at the Learn To Play Day event.

To book onto a FREE Learn To Play Day session you must be over 12 years old.
